Peanut Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal Cups
Description
Peanut Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal Cups use a base of rolled oats mixed with mashed bananas, peanut butter, and almond milk infused with ground flaxseed. The mixture includes cinnamon, baking powder, and vanilla extract for flavor and leavening. Chocolate chips stirred in and sprinkled on top add bursts of sweetness and texture.
Once baked, these cups develop a firm but moist texture that holds well for easy handling. The baking process sets the oat mixture, creating a portable, satisfying baked good that can be enjoyed warm or cold.
They are convenient for make-ahead breakfasts or snacks, with instructions for reheating in the microwave or toaster oven. Freezing allows longer storage, and they can be thawed overnight in the fridge. The recipe’s use of flaxseed adds some binding and nutritional value, while the balance of sweet and nutty flavors is appealing.
These oatmeal cups are best served as a grab-and-go food, comfortable for busy mornings or as a snack throughout the day.
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats old fashioned
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 ½ cups milk I like using unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 2 Tablespoons Flaxseed ground
- 2 banana about 1/2 cup, mashed
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 3 Tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup chocolate chips plus more for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with silicone liners. Paper liners work too. Spray liners with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together almond milk and flaxseed. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
- Add mashed banana, maple syrup, peanut butter, oats, cinnamon, baking powder, vanilla and chocolate chips.
- Scoop mixture evenly into muffin tin with liners and top each cup with extra chocolate chips.
- Bake 30-35 minutes or until the center of the cups has set and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow cups to cool before transferring to a storage container and placing them in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Reheat oatmeal cups by wrapping in a paper towel and microwaving for 30-60 seconds until warm throughout.
- Alternatively, reheat cut halves in a toaster oven at low heat (250-300°F) for 5-6 minutes.
- Frozen cups can be thawed overnight in the fridge or reheated directly from frozen in short microwave increments.
